GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PT4211 is a continuous conduction mode inductive
step
-
down converter, designed for driving single or
multiple series connected LEDs from a voltage source
higher than the LED voltage. The device operates from
an input supply between
5
V and 30V and provides an
externally adjustable output current of up to
35
0mA.
The PT4
2
11 includes the output switch and a high
-
side
output current sensing circuit, which uses
an external
resistor to set the nominal average output current, and a
dedicate
d DIM input accepts a wide range of pulsed
dimming. Applying a voltage of
0.
4
V
or lower to the
DIM pin turns the output off and switches the device
into a low current standby state.
